Reviews and Ratings

(37% verdelho, 32% viognier and 31% semillon, with no oak) Pale yellow. High-pitched, spicy citrus zest and green apple fruit aromas are complemented by white pepper and mint. Firm, focused and nervy on the palate, offering zesty lemon zest and bitter quince flavours and a deeper note of apple skin. Finishes with solid, faintly bitter grip and lingering minerality. This tight, focused wine will be very flexible with lighter foods. Score: 88 Source: Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
